How many legs ... sent on September 04, 2014 (14:55) by Lucchin Fabrizio. 5 comments, 542 views.

, 1/400 f/8.0, ISO 400, hand held.

L'elefante era un po' agitato ed abbiamo detto meglio lasciarlo in pace, abbiamo imboccato la scarpata per attraversare il greto del fiume in secca, ma ci siamo fermati per fotografare dei piccoli, errore ad averlo dimenticato, tutti guardavamo i piccoli quando tutto ad un tratto abbiamo sentito un trambusto, stava caricando travolgendo quello che trovava davanti, per fortuna eravamo giù per la scarpata e non poteva fare il salto, abbiamo girato lo sguardo ed era li sopra di noi con le sue belle orecchie aperte.

Nice story but I think that the attack is not due so much to protect small as to a number of factors. The young male, note the 5th leg:-D, is full of testosterone, in these situations are nervous and unpredictable, only to see a jeep often causes them to upload, certainly the presence of the puppies has helped. Generally they are only manifestations of strength and aggression and even if they really do fear the end is not primarily affect the jeep. When you are in the presence of elephants in any situation you have to have a way to escape, leaving plenty of time before attacking, snorting, shaking ears, have a swinging gait and good driver should know before you go and have smoothed the way. Elephants are always approached with respect and caution, leaving them time to understand that we are not a threat. Do not forget that as they say they have a long memory and thero man has always been an enemy and who knows how long it will be. All the years there have been countless animals killed by poachers for the stupid ivory market.

Hello Paul, thanks for your reply, in fact I think that I did this attack to the edge of the escarpment because the load of testosterone el 'agitation also see the posture of the photo, it moved very nervous.
Two other times I've had with me that those who ran away because an elephant was stationed close to our accommodation had staged an attack attempt, all both times I went out and I started to photograph in front of standing still, he makes usual moves back and forth, opening and closing her ears but then not seeing any movement a bit 'at a time calms down and then turns around and walks away. I know that elephants do not see well, but perceive every little movement as well as to smell with the end of the proboscis which then approach the mouth in order to understand what it is and so in these cases I think the best thing is to do nessa movement.
As you say are good to have you with a man, in the two parks that I go that I have to cross the Mikumi for strength to climb into the highlands where we volunteer projects and Ruaha NP two hours from Iringa, in recent years I have seen just a really big elephant, the others were killed for ivory. In a museum in Bagamoyo, it seems to me, it's been a few years, was the place where slaves were leaving, I saw an old framed picture with three men carrying a tusk, calculating the proportions with the stature of 'man, even while poor I calculated a length of 4 meters and I thought what could be big and magnificent that elephant.

Usually, to see if they are loaded with testosterone, you look behind the ears of the animal and its temples. During the breeding season males have a charge hormonal high and, because of this form of the species of "sweat stains" in their dermis, from where part of these hormones in excess will be expelled with precisely the help of this kind of sweat.

Hello Peter, when I opened the site and saw all those red lines of notifications I said to myself: this time they failed me. Apart from the jokes it is true that more than once, in the day at the park that I gave myself during the trips to carry out volunteer projects, I took my risks also because in this park, at least then, animals are not so used to seeing people. Good continuation of this new year, a hug, hello Fabrizio
